Hi there. If anyone could help ID these clocks and model fitment I'd really appreciate it? They're currently on a 1996 Cali... Thanks a lot for any help you can offer B |

I saw these on that Cali hybrid on ebay, I can't say I've seen anything like them, they may be a one off or a small run, possibly Italian made as Giri means 'round' in Italian.
I am 99.9% sure that is not a Guzzi headlamp, I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like one. I take it you've trawled the 'tinternet looking for 'obscure Guzzi instruments'? There is a good chance somebody on here will know, there's always someone!!!!!!! |

An odd combination, Giri means revolutions, Italian of course, but the speedo scale is 0 - 140 which surely must be MPH.

Looks like they're a home made job to me. Is that a headlamp or a tank mounted Harley D panhead type instrument cluster?

Hi, thanks for reply. Yes, that's the one - I stated '99 but actually '94. I'm quite interested in the bike but based on the clocks and a few other details, feel it might be a parts-bin special! Nothing wrong with that of course, although the price seems optimistic.

Thanks for replies folks. As you say Brian, it is a bit odd. The shape does resemble Panhead but it's integral to the headlamp - nothing to say that's original Guzzi though. The bike's on eBay, I'm sort of keen but clearly not all original. I've had 1100 Sports before but both were carb. Presume injection 'smoother' but I like carbs, they make a lot more sense to me. Argh, someone just tell me if I should buy it will you?!

I've seen it now on Ebay. Definitely not a Guzzi clocks/headlamp, looks to me like someone's added it to a headlamp or maybe it's off some weird old MZ or something. Does look interesting but I think a lot of money for a bitza. Do you want a 1100cc motor or a bike that looks like a T3 California? This T5 looks good as a T3 Cali copy: https://goo.gl/PA8lZI

Both really. I like the Custom look of this Cali and I love the 1100 lump. I'm also persuading myself that the 1100 will be more of an everyday ride than the 850, not to mention T3's are not usually in my price range - I'd imagine the reserve will be somewhere around the mid+ 4K mark.

utter bitza plenty of Cali Ev's around better and for under £100 you can get the seat recovered and get the plates from Gutsibits to pop round cyl rocker covers on it ..... custom clocks from ETB way better than the cobbled one there ....That looks either a 1000 made to look like a cali or a bigger engine in an older frame nb the tonti frame for the 1100 EV inj bike has extra bracing on it ....
